"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Two month ago I was getting sharp pains in my lower back, this was after having knee problems so I have had enough of training. I've trained my whole life. I'm not willing to risk my health anymore. My friend who I trained with has just found out he has slipped vertrabraes in the back, likely due to bodybuilding.

Over the last few years I've had the mentality of the warrior - push through the pain, don't be a wussy. Rest for warriors is to train. Well I've had enough so I haven't trained now for two months.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

You can walk... It doesn't and shouldn't always be pushing thru pain or at the highest intensity. Some of us are strong "enough", like literally way stronger than we need to be, and while we can raise it up some more, whats the point? Plus if we are lucky enough not to be injured and have intact good joints ( knock on wood )...

I loved training, but have to admit I feel free now & not training has given me free time to do important other stuff like working on my house.

You didn't love training then, did you.

I get fricking depressed when i cant train because of an injury or some such.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
